A new development version of xPUD is just released, includes bug fixes, provides better performance and has a new system architecture. Some of the features are still working in progress, so please always refer to the forum and ftp for updates.

Using Aufs also means easily backup/restore of user profile, check the packcpio script, we'll integrate it into Plate UI, too

If you're interested in new architecture, please read this post and this forum thread

Switch Mode

This version enabled the "Switch Mode" function by default, if you put proper menu.lst file on the disk with other OSes installed, xPUD can quickly jump into that OS, bypassing the reboot, BIOS, bootloader process, if no it will leave you a grub prompt. Watch the demo video:

Apt-Get support (experimental)

Yeah, why not? :-) We don't have dpkg info yet, so currently only 3rd party repo supported.
